The Behavioural Public Policy Lab at the University of Saskatchewan is hiring two full-time research positions!
The Behavioural Public Policy Lab is run by Dr. Vince Hopkins, Assistant Professor at the Johnson Shoyama Graduate School of Public Policy. The lab is an interdisciplinary research unit that uses behavioural science to improve access to public services. The lab focuses on positive impact, working closely with policy makers to find out what works (and what doesn’t).
